Chapter 9 Chapter IX Malignant Development After Kidnapping

According to Shimoda Detective's suggestion, it was decided to search the state-owned land in Nishihara, Shibuya Ward again. After the body of Maebashi Kahori was found, the state-owned land was rectified, and the place where the barbed wire was broken was also repaired.Because the dead body was found here, the lovers did not come.This small natural area reserved in the city is better isolated again. "The body was found in Nail." Everyone came to the place where Xiangbaoli's body was buried.A thorough search of the area was carried out, but nothing was found. "Has Misaki come here?" Most of the people who were dragged by Shimoda to search the headquarters were dubious about this.

"Even if Misaki came here, what clues did he find?" There were also people who opposed Shimoda's opinion when searching the headquarters.The police have carried out a thorough carpet search here, and nothing will be missed.Even if there is something missing, how can the layman Misaki find it? At headquarters, discontent was on the rise.The opposition said in private: I am so busy with work, I can't bear to direct blindly? Under the command of the Nasu Police Department, they searched again.Can Misaki find clues here, and then find the real murderer based on the clues?What clues can a layman discover that the police failed to discover?

—this situation will not happen—the opposition suppressed this dissatisfaction and participated in the search.Only the evidence that Misaki has been here can be found, and Shimoda's opinion is not unreasonable. "Hey, isn't the soil here new soil?" Fujimoto, the searcher of the opposition, pointed to a piece of land and said. "Ah, I don't think it's Xintu." Detective Uzawa said uninterestedly. "No, it is indeed new soil. You see, the leaves at the bottom next to the ground are not very wet, and they are newly placed on the dug ground." Fujimoto picked up the fallen leaves on the ground with his hands, most of them were oak leaves .

"What did you say?" Yu Ze also became interested at this time. "First of all, there are no oak trees here. There are oak trees quite far from here. It takes a considerable wind to blow the oak leaves here. Besides, the oak leaves are all piled up. There must not be enough leaves here. .” Fujimoto said holding a handful of fallen leaves. "So..." Uze's eyes sparkled.Fujimoto picked something out of the leaves with his fingers. "What's that?" Uzawa asked with eyes wide open with interest. "It's a cigarette butt. It's new. It's buried under the leaves. But the leaves look like they were last autumn."

The two of them stared at each other.An ominous imagination surged in their respective hearts. But what does the contradiction between fallen leaves and cigarette butts indicate?What is the purpose of excavating the land deep in the state-owned land in the center of the city, and bringing in leaves to cover the excavated ground?Who is it and why would they do such a thing? The two told Nasu about their discovery.So, everyone came together. "That's right, it was excavated recently." Nasu nodded while holding up a handful of soil. "Okay, let's dig and have a look, maybe you will find unexpected treasures." Nasu said a little humorously, but no one laughed.Everyone can imagine what that "treasure" is.If this kind of imagination becomes a reality, it may also break through a dead end.

Immediately brought tools, everyone scrambled to dig.The soil is soft and the work is progressing quickly.It was evident that the land had been dug recently. As I dug, a rancid animal smell rose from the ground.Everyone became extremely tense. "Be careful, it's about to come out." The rancid smell was getting bigger and bigger, everyone put down their tools and continued digging with their hands. "Yes!" Yu Ze exclaimed.When I saw black hair, I carefully dug it down little by little, and the whole head was exposed. What was dug up was the body of a young man.It seems that the time of burial is very short, and the body has not changed much.Aged around 20 years old, wearing twill overalls and canvas rubber-soled sneakers, is a popular clothing for young people now.There is no identification on the body, but judging from the appearance and physical features, it is consistent with Misaki Wataru.The back of the head was dented by a blunt instrument.

Fears of a search of the headquarters became reality.Misaki was killed and his body was buried.And it was in the same state-owned land where Maebashi Kabori's body was found-the murderer must be the same person who killed Kahori. Misaki alone found clues to the murderer who killed Xiang Baoli. When he went to find the murderer, he was killed by the murderer and sealed his mouth forever.This murderer was truly vicious and cunning. The murderer buried the first man he killed and the second man he killed in the same place.But I don't know if he killed Misaki here and buried him on the spot, or if he killed Misaki elsewhere and transported him here for burial.In either case, the murderer probably felt that the places that had been searched would not be searched again.He was too bold.If it wasn't for Shimoda's suggestion, the murderer might really have found a dead end.

In fact, Shimoda did not expect the murderer to bury Misaki's body here. Misaki's parents were called and confirmed the identity of the deceased.The kidnapping and killing of female college students seems to have triggered serial killings. At 10 a.m. the next day, the body was transported to the Forensic Science Laboratory of the University of Tokyo for forensic autopsy. The results are as follows: Cause of death: Cerebral compression caused by depressed skull fracture. Weapons used: blunt objects with rough surfaces such as sticks or squares. Elapsed time after death: 5-8 days. Reference items: There are beef, fish, vegetables, and alcohol in the stomach 1-2 hours after eating.Judging from the food content, it is high-end French cuisine.

In the pockets of the deceased were found leaflets for the church in Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku urging them to attend the evangelistic rally and leaflets for the newly opened pachinko room in Kabuki Street, Shinjuku, and relatively new artificial poppies were found in the grass near the place where the corpse was buried.Also, there was a little white paint sticking to the bottom of the trousers worn by the deceased. It was determined that this was a murder case, and the former Yoyogi Police Station's "Comprehensive Investigation Headquarters for the Kidnapping and Murder of Female College Students" was reorganized into a "Joint Investigation Headquarters for the Serial Murder of Female College Students and Juku School Students" to take charge of the search.

The newly formed Joint Search Headquarters held its first joint search meeting.The subject of the meeting was to find out what clues Misaki must have about the real murderer. "Because Misaki Wataru is the criminal who kidnapped Maebashi Kahori, it must be a clue that only he knows." This is the opinion of most people. But there are also a few people who claim: "It is very likely that Misaki pursued it alone, and later found clues to the murderer. However, the police did not find any clues to the murderer. Why do you say this? Because Xiangbaoli's contact with the real murderer was an accidental event, and Misaki had previously found no clues about the murderer. I didn’t expect it either. In this sense, the police and Misaki can be said to be on the same starting line.”

The layman Misaki saw it, but what was the blind spot that the expert police didn't see?In any case, the fact that the police had fallen behind Misaki could not be denied.In order to save face, this blind spot must also be found. There is an opinion that says: "From the leaflets on the body, it can be speculated that Misaki went to Shinjuku and Minami-Aoyama during his lifetime. Leaflets are not kept for a long time, and Misaki probably obtained them shortly before his death. We should first investigate his identity in these two places." Footprint." There are also the following objections: "However, the billiard room in Shinjuku and the church in Minami-Aoyama, the goals are too general." "That's not necessarily true. Misaki ate French food an hour or two before his death. There seems to be a French restaurant in Minami Aoyama." "It's not confirmed that it's French food, is it?" "As a result of the autopsy, it is very likely that it is French cuisine. I think we should investigate it." "Can a poor student from a cram school eat at a French restaurant?" "Misaki has a wealthy family, and he probably has money." "Misaki himself may not be rich, maybe the murderer invited him to the 'Last Supper'." "Then the murderer and Misaki went to a French restaurant for dinner together." "In this way, it is even more necessary to investigate in French restaurants." The line of French restaurants has suddenly been taken seriously. "Where did the fake flowers thrown in the nearby grass come from?" Someone raised the question from another angle. "The flowers are still relatively new, probably brought by the murderer or the victim." "But why are they carrying fake flowers?" "Men don't buy that kind of thing." "The victim is a man. If the murderer brings it, is the murderer a woman?" "That's not necessarily the case, men may also hold flowers." "Where did he get it?" "Perhaps a gift from a tavern or café." "A gift, not bad. It may be a gift from the newly opened billiard room." "Anyway, the billiard room and the church are to be investigated." "Let's think about Misaki's footprints during his lifetime. He got leaflets in a billiard room in Shinjuku, and a church in Minami-Aoyama, and was killed after eating French food somewhere. The fake flower If Misaki took it, it would also be a clue. What is the sequence of these actions?" "And the paint on Misaki's body, where did it stick?" "The paint didn't have to be on the day it was killed." "Maybe that's the case, but we can't let it go." Based on the above situation, the following search policy was decided: 1. Find a French restaurant for the last supper. 2. Find out where the "Nanqingshan Presbyterian Church" in Nanqingshan distributes the leaflets of the preaching meeting. 3. Find out where the Pachinko King in Kabuki Street in Qingjuku distributes leaflets. Fourth, find out where the fake flowers come from. 5. Find out where the paint is stuck. 6. Look for witnesses around the scene. Finally, judging from the fact that the murderer used the "same scene" twice to commit crimes, the murderer must be very familiar with the local geographical environment and social conditions, and decided to punish people with previous convictions, members of violent gangs, mentally abnormal people, and others living nearby. Unemployed persons and suspicious persons are investigated. As a result of the investigation, the following facts were clarified: the second item, "Minami-Aoyama Presbyterian Church", distributed evangelistic meetings from time to time at Gaienmae Station, Aoyama-Ichi Station, Nogizaka Station, and the crossroads of Roppongi and Akasaka Mitsuke. flyer. The third item, "Pachinko King", hired "advertisers" to distribute opening advertisement leaflets around the east exit of Shinjuku Station during the three-day period from August 3rd to 5th. There are hundreds of French restaurants in the first item in Minami-Aoyama, Akasaka, and Roppongi. I investigated separately, but there was no clue of Misaki. Among them, there are large restaurants in restaurants that can accommodate hundreds of people, and small restaurants in alleys.Some said that customers cannot remember all of them, and there will be restaurants that were missed during the investigation. In addition, churches, billiard rooms, and surveyed French restaurants did not use artificial poppies as gifts.The origin of the fake flowers is unknown. Investigations around the scene did not reveal any suspicious persons.After Misaki's mouth was sealed, it showed signs that the truth of the incident would never be revealed. The search of the headquarters was really put into a completely desperate limbo this time.The kidnapped female college student failed to be rescued, but was killed by another criminal.Moreover, it can be said that the only "witness" who knew who the real murderer was was also killed by the same murderer.Moreover, the witness who was killed was the criminal who kidnapped the female college student.This is a really strange case. Looking back at this complicated incident, it first started with the abduction of female college student Maebashi Kabori on May 18.The kidnapper once asked for a ransom, but he didn't contact him at the appointed time. After that, the victim and the kidnapper cut off news. The victim's car was thrown in the mountains of Shobu City, Saitama Prefecture, where there was a ruined temple with traces of people entering the temple, and an unused fine anesthetic syringe.The body of a dead dog was found outside the temple.It seems that the criminal injected anesthesia into the victim in the ruined temple in order to rape her. From the ingredients of the narcotic, it was speculated that the culprit was a doctor or a person related to medical drugs, and investigations were carried out in this regard, but no suspicious person was found.There is still no news of the criminal or the victim. On May 29, Maebashi Kabori's body was found in a state-owned property in Nishihara, Shibuya Ward, based on a 110 call from an unidentified person.Chemical fibers, buttercup pollen, wheat, dog hair, etc. were attached to the corpse.I don't know why Xiangbaoli was brought from Saitama Prefecture to a state-owned land in Tokyo. On June 20, a woman was raped with anesthesia in Sangbu City.Judging from the condition of the victim and the syringes found at the scene, the method used by the criminal is the same as that used by the criminal who kidnapped and killed the female college student.According to the towels and handkerchiefs found during the search around the scene, the criminal is estimated to be a tourist staying at the Musashi Kanko Hotel.As a result of the investigation of the hotel, it was learned that a passenger left a book by Kawabata Yasunari before leaving.The main content of the book is to write a story about an old man who wants to rejuvenate a girl who fell asleep after taking sleeping pills.Typos and print smudges in the book are marked. As a result of searching the headquarters for the publishing house that published the book, three readers emerged.One of them was Joe Kamase, who opened a photo studio in Sōbu City. He often went to the affiliated laboratory of the Agricultural University where anesthesia was stocked. I also learned that Kamase is a pervert who wants to inject his wife with anesthesia for intercourse and peek at other housewives taking a bath. When investigating Kamase, he admitted to violence against women, but firmly denied the crime of kidnapping and killing female college students.On the night of the kidnapping, Kamase had an alibi.It can be concluded that he is not the criminal who kidnapped the female college student. Kamase confessed that he met Maebashi Kahori in the mountains of Sobu City. After injecting Kahori with anesthesia, when he wanted to commit rape, he was attacked by wild dogs and ended in an attempted rape.While fighting with wild dogs, Kahori ran away.If his confession is true, Kabori was killed after escaping from Kamase. On the other hand, Kozo Matsuba, a farmer in Sobu City, was lying there after encountering three gangsters fighting near the place where the victim's car was found.The three bosozoku youths are Uehara, Ooka and Nishiyama.According to their confessions, it became clear that the criminal who kidnapped Kabori was Misaki, a student at a cram school in Kokubun City.The three of them met Misaki who kidnapped Xiangbaoli on the road, and they wanted to snatch Xiangbaoli from Misaki.So the two sides fought.While they were fighting, Shambori escaped.Later, Xiangbaoli was hijacked by narcotics criminals.However, Misaki disappeared a few days before the police intervened. Misaki considered that if this continues, he will be responsible for the murder, so he went alone to track down the murderer who killed Xiangbaoli. The former detective Masato Ito speculated that after Maebashi Kabori escaped from Kamase, he probably got into the car of two people who were eating at the mountain restaurant "Bandit Plaza" near the third scene.She may have seen or heard the owner's secrets in the car, so she was killed by the owner. Where did Misaki go?At the meeting discussing Misaki's whereabouts, Shimoda said that guessing Misaki's psychology, he would definitely go to the scene where Maebashi Kabori's body was found.According to Shimoda's opinion, I went to the scene to search again, and found the body of Misaki buried there-the above is the course of the incident. This event is composed of 4 elements.One is kidnapping.The second is that the kidnapped escaped from the kidnapper and then met the narcotic brutality criminal.The third is that the kidnapped person was killed.Fourth, the kidnapper was killed.Among them, the second item of narcotic violence has nothing to do with the "serial murder after kidnapping".Items 1, 3, and 4 are interrelated. The third and fourth murderers are likely to be the same person.Otherwise, it would be impossible for the two murderers to bury their dead bodies in the same place at almost the same time. After the third incident was discovered, the police closely monitored the scene.The fourth incident occurred after the monitoring was lifted. The murderer probably has a mentality of "the place that has been searched will not be searched again".But this mentality is too general and too old-fashioned. The principle of "hundred times on the spot" search negates this kind of psychology.Today's criminals don't use this outdated mentality anymore.In fact, reusing the same scene can be dangerous for criminals.Unexpectedly, the criminals used such a risky method. This criminal dared to use this old, old-fashioned method to take advantage of the loopholes, which was a great shame to the search headquarters.
